What's new in version 6.3?
- Moved all text in the administration into language files.
- All language files are now editable through the admin section.
- Added an option into the admin section to activate/deactivate languages. This allows for easy addition/removal of languages without the need to edit any code or templates.
- Added an option to the mass mailer to send out emails one at a time on servers where Bcc mailing does not work.
- Added in the last poster for each thread when viewing the postlist screen.
- Added a modification of JustDave's "My Cookies" hack, with a template file. This allows users to delete all cookies from a UBB.threads site.
- Modified the banuser function so a user cannot login at all when they are banned. If they are currently logged in they will get a message that they are now banned on the next screen they visit.
- Modified showflat/showthreaded so the Board= portion isn't needed when linking to a post. This will keep bookmarks or links to posts that have been moved from breaking.
- Updated the COPPA registration and handling.
- Added the ability to add a custom charset or text direction for a language via the control panel.
